Description
Every year, Oktoberfest is held in Munich, Germany. It's a 16 day festival that sees 7 million litres of beer consumed. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this years festival has been cancelled. It would be a travesty to let all that delicious beer go to waste, and if you are like us, you don't get to enjoy a beer, unless you've earned it. Join us in committing to running, walking or biking at least 3 miles every day for 16 days straight this fall. We plan on running everyday and enjoying an ice cold beer as our reward. Post your results along with reviews of your favorite beer. Obviously, we would encourage drinking some Oktoberfest brews, but drink what you've got or share with us some of your favorites (Check out our FAQs section to see how to share). Beer drinking is for anyone 21 and older, but anyone can participate in the run, walk or bike. As part of the race fee, you'll get an awesome Oktoberfest themed t-shirt and pint glass. Also, we are donating a portion of proceeds to the American Red Cross! The Red Cross does so much great work, and currently they are out providing disaster relief in California and Oregon as a result of the devastating wildfires.
Start your 16 day journey anytime this fall and just be sure you have your days complete by November 30, 2020.
